Featuring Lokesh Kanagaraj, Wamiqa Gabbi and Sanjana Krishnamoorthy, the glimpse hints at an intense and emotionally charged love story.
The first glimpse of DC has drawn attention for its dark tone and striking visuals. Released on Valentine’s Day, the glimpse presents a violent and intense take on the classic Devadas story, moving away from romance into raw emotion and conflict.
The film marks the acting debut of filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj, who plays the central character Devadas. The glimpse introduces him in a rugged and brooding avatar, hinting at a man driven by obsession and pain. Wamiqa Gabbi and Sanjana Krishnamoorthy play Chandra and Parvathy, two women who appear to shape Devadas’ emotional journey. The teaser avoids dialogue and instead relies on visuals, expressions, and music to set the mood.
Unlike traditional retelling, DC places its love story in a violent setting. Blood, cigarettes, and tense moments dominate the frames. The glimpse suggests a romance marked by destruction rather than longing. While the relationships are only briefly hinted at, the emotional conflict is clear, leaving viewers curious about how the story will unfold.
DC is directed by Arun Matheswaran, known for his gritty storytelling. The film is produced by Sun Pictures and features music by Anirudh Ravichander. Cinematography is handled by Mukesh Gnanesh, with editing by Prasanna GK. The technical team indicates a stylized and intense cinematic experience.
With its brief but powerful glimpse, DC positions itself as a bold reinterpretation of a familiar story. By blending romance with violence, the film promises a darker emotional journey. The makers have announced that the film is scheduled for a theatrical release in Summer 2026.
